Every number was expected about that many times after 1,036 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (9, 11, 19, 27) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 5 July 2017 — its closest relative in 1,036 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 90% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 September 2023): 27 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

75

The numbers add up to 75 — the 3th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

11 had not appeared for 21 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 2.9× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 4% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈6.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,789 winners, 22% more than the 1.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
